Susceptibility of Cider Apple Accessions to European Canker—Comparison between Evaluations in Field Planted Trees and Rapid Screening Tests [PDF]
European canker, caused by Neonectria ditissima Bres., is an economically damaging fungal disease of apple. Breeding new cultivars with a high level of resistance to European canker is the main aim of apple breeding programs.
